Seoul's private high schools that accept students through application are planning to take foreigners next year, according to a new Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education policy announced Wednesday.
Schools affected include: autonomous private high schools (not subject to government curriculum standards and that allow more freedom to students than conventional schools); science high schools (that nurture gifted students in science), and international high schools (that nurture gifted students with expertise in international relations).
The policy will allow the schools to admit a "small" number of foreigners, with the exact number not specified.
Schools that want foreign students can submit a study plan to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education for review.
A Seoul education authority official said authorization for foreign student enrollments will be given "after our review on certain criteria, such as whether the institution has a dormitory or a Korean language curriculum."
